3. Types of ovarian stimulation
Induction of ovulation:
To induce monofollicular development in anovulatory patients
Superovulation:
Intentional production of more than one mature follicles
4. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH):
Regulated superovulation by turning off the patient’s own hormones (down regulation) followed by stimulation
1. Multiple follicles growth.
2. Control timing of ovulation: ova can be retrieved before they are ovulated.
3. Prevention of premature LH surge.
17. Ready to use pre-filled pen
Rec
Consistent FSH in terms of protein content (Bassett et al, 2005).
More precise dose
More consistent ovarian response:
less treatment days
less cancelled cycles
Better embryo quality
Higher implantation rate (Hugues et al.,2002 Balasch et al, 2004)
Pen:
Easy to use
Patients prefer prefilled pen (Weiss et al, 2007)
30. Protocols
Dose& duration vary among
Women:
extremely sensitive to relatively low doses (75-225 IU daily), others require greater stimulation (300-450 IU daily).
B. wt & dose
Response cannot be predicted, even in the obese.
2. Cycles within women
The intended goal:
unifollicular ovulation or superovulation?.
31.
I. Step-up:
1. Conventional=Standard
2. Low dose
3. Chronic low dose
II. Step-down
III. Step-up, step-down
32. I. Step up
Principle:
Stepwise increase in FSH {determine the FSH threshold for follicular development}
33. Conventional:
Starting dose: 150 IU/d:
Duration of starting dose: 5 d
Increased by: 75 IU/3-5 d
Excessive follicle development
Increased OHSS (Thompson and Hansen, 1970; Dor et al., 1980; Wang and Gemzell, 1980).
No longer recommended (Buvat et al., 1989; Brzyski et al., 1995)
